Linnanmäki is a famous amusement park in Helsinki that has 43 different rides of different sizes. It also has other attractions, such as arcades, games, kiosks, restaurants and an outdoor stage on which different performers appear in the summer. The amusement park is located just north of the city centre of Helsinki. The park is located on a hill Linnanmäki in with nice views of the city. The park feels rather compact and has no discernible theming; the rides and attraction are in close proximity.

Linnanmäki currently has 40 rides, along with many other non-ride based attractions. Probably the most notable ride in the park is the Wooden Roller Coaster or Vuoristorata in Finnish. This is the most recognisable symbol of the park, and was one of the first rides to be built at the park. The oldest ride in Linnanmäki is Karuselli (a carousel), built in 1896. It also has many other big attractions, including Raketti, or "Rocket" (formerly Space Shot), which is a standard upwards-launched free fall tower. Other roller coasters in the park include Tulireki, Linnunrata, Pikajuna, and Finland's first water coaster, Vonkaputous.
